When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping. – Fred Rogers

This really rings true – you know that saying, “kill them with kindness”? It’s kinda’ like that. Most angry, unkind people are really just hurting on the inside, and need it the most. This one was not originally included in this post, but I created it for my upstairs hallway, near the kids rooms. You know, where I need it the most, to give them love instead of letting anger take ahold of me for their unkind actions. So there you have it – that’s my reminder for positive parenting – every time I go upstairs. Now it’s yours too :)
